HESI Comprehensive Exit Exam
questions and answers graded A+ 100%

1-Enalapril maleate (Vasotec) is prescribed for a hospitalized client. Which assessment
does the nurse perform as a priority before administering the medication?

A. Checking the client's blood pressure
B. Checking the client's peripheral pulses
C. Checking the most recent potassium level
D. Checking the client's intake-and-output record for the last 24 hours - A. Checking
the client's blood pressure

Checking the client's blood pressure
Enalapril maleate is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat
hypertension. One common side effect is postural hypotension. Therefore the nurse
would check the client's blood pressure immediately before administering each dose.
Checking the client's peripheral pulses, the results of the most recent potassium level,
and the intake and output for the previous 24 hours are not specifically associated with
this mediation.

2-A client is scheduled to undergo an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, and the nurse
provides instructions to the client about the test. Which statement by the client indicates
a need for further instruction?

A. "The test will take about 30 minutes."
B. "I need to fast for 8 hours before the test."
C. "I need to drink citrate of magnesia the night before the test and give myself a Fleet
enema on the morning of the test."
D. "I need to take a laxative after the test is completed, because the liquid that I'll have
to drink for the test can be constipating." - C. "I need to drink citrate of magnesia the
night before the test and give myself a Fleet enema on the morning of the test."

An upper GI series involves visualization of the esophagus, duodenum, and upper
jejunum by means of the use of a contrast medium. It involves swallowing a contrast
medium (usually barium), which is administered in a flavored milkshake. Films are taken
at intervals during the test, which takes about 30 minutes. No special preparation is
necessary before a GI series, except that NPO status must be maintained for 8 hours
before the test. After an upper GI series, the client is prescribed a laxative to hasten
elimination of the barium. Barium that remains in the colon may become hard and
difficult to expel, leading to fecal impaction.

,3-A nurse on the evening shift checks a physician's prescriptions and notes that the
dose of a prescribed medication is higher than the normal dose. The nurse calls the
physician's answering service and is told that the physician is off for the night and will be

B. Ask the answering service to contact the on-call physician
C. Withhold the medication until the physician can be reached in the morning
D. Administer the medication but consult the physician when he becomes available -

5.NPO status is imposed 8 hours before the procedure on a client scheduled to undergo
